Hot: Nguyen Thuy Linh injured, dropped out halfway through the China Masters badminton tournament

On September 17, Vietnam's No. 1 badminton player Nguyen Thuy Linh suffered an injury and had to withdraw from the match against Yeo Jia Min (Singapore) in the first round of the women's singles at the China Masters 2025 badminton tournament.

What problem does Nguyen Thuy Linh have?

Singapore's No. 1 tennis player Yeo Jia Min ( world rank 15) has beaten Nguyen Thuy Linh (world rank 17) 4 out of 5 previous encounters, so she is rated higher when they compete again at the China Masters 2025 badminton tournament.

Without Indonesian expert Hariawan Hong accompanying her like in the recent Vietnam Open badminton tournament, Nguyen Thuy Linh had to adjust her skills while Singaporean player Yeo Jia Min had a coach to closely direct her. Despite being continuously behind her opponent, Vietnam's No. 1 player still persistently pursued to equalize 15/15, 18/18, even taking the lead 19/18 against Yeo Jia Min but unfortunately lost 19/21 in the first set.

In the second set, when Yeo Jia Min was leading 3/0, Nguyen Thuy Linh voluntarily withdrew due to injury. She spoke with the main referee and the referee-in-chief, then congratulated her opponent and left the field, giving her the right to continue to the second round. It is currently unclear how Nguyen Thuy Linh's injury was. Before participating in the China Masters, Nguyen Thuy Linh competed in the Vietnam Open, reached the final and received the title of runner-up in the women's singles. It is very possible that the intense competition overloaded the number 1 Vietnamese tennis player.
